This commentary focuses
on race, social class as well as gender. However, in this article these factors
are seen at detached issues within academic literature. The writers analyse a
sample of academic literature from various journals over the period of ten
years, in order to regulate the degree to which these group factors were
assimilated.

Further to the
examination, minor assimilation was found. Grant and Slater then go on to
deliver illustrations of compliant learning in order to demonstrate how
considering an aspect from these issues can actually distort ‘behaviour
analysis’ as well as conducing a continuance of race, social class and gender
preconceptions.

This article goes in line with my desired research topic
as it discusses discrepancies in satisfaction amongst university students as
well as graduation rates in regards to race, ethnicity, and gender as well as socio-
economic status. In addition to this, religious links established another
disregarded form of identity which is student’s outcomes.

However, in terms of
Christian privilege within the States of America, students from relegated
religions as well as individuals who do not classify themselves with any other organised religion can in fact face substantial difficulties on
campuses and even throughout the society. In addition, this article includes
statistical facts in order to back up their claims. For example, using a sample
of 3,098 undergraduates throughout 28 institutes, examining the magnitude to
which higher education satisfaction varies as a function if ‘students religious
affiliation’

This article looks at male students within the central
London (England, UK) area, who are stereotyped and are usually associated with
a range of issues in a social environment as well as an academic setting. In
spite of feminist theorists querying for distinct and convoluted analysis in
regards to ‘racialised and classed’ factors of masculinity.

In addition to this, this piece of writing engrosses with
the demand of theorising working class male students’ virility within the
inner- city in an all-inclusive setting. Furthermore, data has been collected from
discussions with male students in a school in central London. This data was
used to exemplify constructions of ‘culturally entangled’ manliness.

Lastly, this article also looks at the label ‘bad boys’
which are positioned in conflict of education and in relation to subjects such
as ‘hegemony’, ‘patriarchy’ and racial and class inequalities.

This book looks at the dynamics within an urban high school. As
an English teacher with a white background, defines and examines major encounters
within the classroom. Dilg also looks at the ‘joys at the heart’ of multicultural
education with young people.

What is more, Dilg looks at profound matters and demonstrates
how educationalists can conduct questions upon race as well as culture within
the subjects that are taught. Furthermore, Dilg proposes agendas for the procedures,
quandaries and lastly, the welfares of multicultural education. However, Dilg
also indicated that multicultural approach towards schooling is substantially
more multifaceted compared to frequently acknowledged factors.

This book
concentrates on the emotional and social consequences of gender differences as
well as racial division which are experienced by Black and other ethnic female
individuals within the educational environment. It also looks at the intersections of race and gender within this sector.

In addition to
this, commentators have debated the reasons behind endemic gender and race
inequalities within academia as well as looking at alternative power of a black
feminist context in enlightening the interconnections among race and gender
and procedures of inequality in an educational environment.

Lastly, this book
argues that black female’s educational desire for themselves and their off- springs
exemplifies a feminist prospective for a multicultural future.
